Both packages have their own history. What changelog preserve in the new mailx in rawhide -- the old entries from mailx-8.x, the new entries from nail-12.3, or something else?
I would consider it a package rename, nail -> mailx, thus the nail changelog should be preserved.
Would it have been more appropriate to just have nail obsolete mailx? What is the actual upstream name?
mailx could be kept in fedora, nail doesn't really obsolete it, like a rename do. I think that the issue here is that a virtual provide should be used for mail (or a file provide like /bin/mail) such that the package providing mail can change in time.
